    It was cool until I realised there are like 100 cameras pointed at every angle of the human player, that hardly seems fair.

    One of the proofs that we do not live in the real world, but in a matrix, a simulation, call it what you will.

    The pursuit of innovation in robotics and AI proves more and more the Intelligent Design theological argument. That impressive robot is largely optimized for that one task. Humans however have the capacity to adapt to the task at hand to achieve their goals or specific outcome. As R.C. Sproul would say “Not A chance”

  11. @maykagustafson

    May 17, 2026 at 6:19 pm

    The chart on SPAX88K is just about to breakout and theres no mainstream exposure. This one is going to break to into the moon.

  12. @jamivang-p9f

    May 17, 2026 at 6:19 pm

  19. @olivenzasophie

    May 17, 2026 at 6:19 pm

    SPAX88K > BITCOIN > XRP. In that order.

  20. @paubenny

    May 17, 2026 at 6:19 pm

    Gold holders are all getting into crypto, SPAX88K to be exact.

    May 17, 2026 at 6:20 pm

    …Ha and why do you think Banks are afraid of Elon and his new token SPAX88K? The staking and bonuses are out of this world.

  26. @dannienick

    May 17, 2026 at 6:20 pm

    I think it’s more impressive that a human is capable of beating a 100 eyed rail monster at a game of ping pong

  33. @agusfadillahsani2025

    From the cob kernel, into the table tennis. How random Sony is.

  34. @nroose

    May 18, 2026 at 10:09 am

    Yes, it’s cheating. It’s not possible for the person to see the table from many different perspectives. Put one or two cameras on the moving robot and no more than a couple of inches apart, and make the robot stand on feet that are no more than a yard or so apart, and then that will be impressive. This is more like the robot is just playing a video game.

  35. @Rima-0015

    CNET Nice breakdown, very clear.

    The narrower the task – the better algorithms work.
